ABOUT: Marc Haisma is an oddity in Burgundy, as he is actually from Australia and therefore, despite having made wine in Burgundy for many years, is a relative outsider. He was winemaker at Yarra Yering for ten years, and therefore gained plenty of experience making great Chardonnay and Pinot Noir before crossing the globe to continue in the hallowed grounds of the Cote d’Or! In addition, he is what the French call a ‘micro-negoce’ or micro-negociant in that he purchases grapes from other growers, and makes the wine himself in a small cellar just outside Beaune. While it’s often seen as a disadvantage not to have one’s own vineyards, the negociant approach allows him to choose the vineyards he wishes (buying the vineyards outright in Burgundy is now prohibitive to all but the very wealthiest), and concentrate on quality alone, without having to spent precious time and resource on the myriad of viticultural tasks. We were particularly impressed with his Pernand-Vergelesses Premier Cru En Caradeux and Pommard Premier Cru Clos des Arvelets in 2022 and therefore commissioned the wines in half bottles this year.
